The bill H. 4981 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that requests the Department of Transportation to name the intersection of United States Highway 301 and Black Branch Road in Dillon County as the "Joseph B. 'Benny' Cooper Intersection." The resolution highlights the significant contributions of Joseph B. "Benny" Cooper Jr. to the community over his fifty-five years of service as a funeral director and embalmer, including founding Cooper Funeral Home and his active involvement in various local organizations and churches.
The resolution emphasizes Cooper's dedication to serving the residents of Dillon and surrounding areas, as well as his compassionate approach to his work. It concludes by requesting the erection of appropriate signs or markers at the designated intersection to honor his legacy. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for implementation.
